Bike Park Features

Trails

Trestle is probably the most popular bike park in Colorado due to the variety of trails they offer. The terrain is rocky and can be loose when it’s dry. The trails range from fast and flowy to technical race style trails. There is a fair amount of wood features throughout the park including drops, doubles, wall rides and booters to provide even more fun.

If you’re looking for a friendly warm up lap down the mountain, hop on Shy Ann to Free Speech. Both are flowy Blue trails with a couple of small tabletop jumps and wood features. When you’re ready for some jumping, hop on the token Trestle trail Rainmaker, with table after table of fun. If you’re looking for a more technical challenge, run down Trestle Downhill with steep, rough and rooty singletrack.
Not to be left out, cross-country riders can get in some riding on the outer edges and summit of Trestle Bike Park or can take one of the connecting trails to access the down-valley trails.
